Other scandals facing the Olmert government: * President Moshe Katsav has been accused by a former employee of coercing her to have sex with him. Katsav has denied the woman's allegations, which Reuters said police are investigating. * Tzahi Hanegbi of Kadima, the chairman of parliament's influential defence and foreign affairs committee, was informed earlier this week he would be charged with fraud, bribery and perjury. * Lt.-Gen. Dan Halutz, chief of staff of Israel's armed forces, has acknowledged selling off his stock portfolio just hours after Hezbollah gunmen kidnapped two Israeli soldiers July 12 triggering the five-week Lebanon war. While regulatory authorities have said he did nothing illegal, Reuters said many Israelis are questioning why cutting his own financial losses was on Halutz's mind at such a time. |
